(2) Such sign(s) shall be so erected not less than ten days before the date set for the public hearing before the board of adjustment. Any such sign(s) shall be removed subsequent to final action by the board of adjustment on the special exception application.
(3) Such sign(s) shall substantially indicate that a special exception use has been requested and shall further set forth that additional information can be acquired by telephoning the number indicated thereon.
